Customers can find the new YouTube app tile in their ‘Your Apps and Channels’ row. The official YouTube app on Fire TV is better than ever with expanded Alexa voice controls that help customers find, launch, and control content (pause, play, rewind, fast-forward) using their voice. When they open the app for the first time they’ll be automatically prompted to download the app—once installed, they can simply say “Alexa, open YouTube” or click into the app to sign in to their existing YouTube account and access their full library of content including subscriptions, playlists, and recommendations. Plus, they can play compatible videos in 4K HDR at 60 fps on supported TVs and streaming media players. The new YouTube app will be the default YouTube experience for customers using a compatible Fire TV device, effective immediately.
You can already find what you want to watch on Fire TV, with access to all your favourites from Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Hotstar, Voot, Zee5, SonyLIV, TVFPlay, and more. With a constantly growing library and over 500 hours of video uploaded every minute on YouTube, it’s a great time to start using the official YouTube app on Fire TV.
Also from now, you can watch Amazon Prime Video on Chromecast and Android TV devices, giving Prime member’s unlimited access to their favourite Amazon Originals, live events, Prime Video Channels, and more.
